cross them and wind to form coil. 1t is
necessary just here to pin these braids Sc
curely, for they are the foundation for the
rest of the couture.

the plaitS are then taken from behind each
ear and carried around the coil. Lastly,
cross the two plaits on each side over the
top of the coil, bring down and fasten the
ends securely underneath. According as it
suits the wearer, the coils must be arranged
either high or low. For those to whom it
is becoming, the basket braid is twined low
in the nape of the neck. Eider-down fan
mel wrappers. either plain colors or striped,
are made up in the simplest manner i'll close
redingote shape, with velvet collar
and cuffs and ribbon bows OF mill
tary frogs across the front for fas-
Jennings. The plain pink, blue or elder
down wrappers have dark red velvet acces-
series, which make them becoming to either
blonde or brunette. The striped fannels
are used for comfort rather than beauty,
and velvet trimmings are then out Of place
upon them. A princess shape is often
chosen for the front and large Vatican
plat is added where this style of wrapper is
found becoming. Hoods are added to the
handsome matinee and tea gowns sent over
from Paris. You must know that fashion
able women devote exquisite attention to
their wrappers, which are only to be seen
by female visitors, and that proves we don't
dress for masculine eyes.
JULIA

woman 1 know. Her raiment is always
stunning, the glitter of her diamonds is be-
wildering, her bonnet aspireS upward in an
excelsior way that is quite overpowering,
and the scorsageS of her full dress toilets

If her precious little head had been wax
form in hair-dresser's window it couldn't
have had less in it. But not very long ago
the son and heir Of family that goes in
for the intellectual took Julia's wealth
and Julia along with it to his
pocket and heart. and since then the most
amazing change has come over her. She is
not whit less strenuously stylish than she
was before, but she has actually become
quite intellectual, and is even brilliant in
conversation. She who was never known
to say anything smacking more strongly of
intelligence than, ''Oh, how loveIyn' can
now talk interestingly about almost any
thing that society knows about, and is wit
tier and more sparkling than any of her
husbands intellectual circle. L said some
thing to her the other day about what a
wonderful change marriage had made in
her, and she laughed and said:
sit isn't marriage that has done that.
It's all owing to the pumper and the pol
isher."

1.-The pumper and the polisher." she re-
piled, as coolly as if she had been telling
me what tailor had made her dress. THAT

You see, after l was married found that
all my husbands family were too awfully
cultured and intelligent to think anything
of my dresses and diamonds, and that they
were disposed to look down on me as an

inst vowed to myself that they shouldn't do
it, and that I'd make them thankful to have
me in the family. But couldn't think of
going into the thing deep, you know, study
